5. We suck, no doubt about it...Francona is a good coach and a bad coach...

he knows the game, but he does not inspire...and over the last couple years they've needed someone who can motivate and inspire them...it will be a lousy season and Francona will be gone half way through.

12. Well, he was there last year and they didn't have good pitching...

everyone thinks they have good pitching because of the reputation of some guys who did well previously...Beckett hasn't been good since 2007, Lester starts slow, Dice-K needs to go...lackey was a big mistake...

11. I wonder if Adrian Gonzales is missing the lineup protection he had in SD.

Hey, at least the Sox aren't in the basement alone. If they could win 89 last year sporting a starting outfield of Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald and Ryan Kalish, along with god knows who at 1st and 2nd base and "clean up hitter" Kevin Cash for half a season, I'm sure they'll be fine this season if they stay healthy.
